Adult Recess

An article on scholastic.com notes that children who regularly experience recess "are less fidgety and more on task," "learn negotiation skills," and have "more focused attention." Coincidentally, these may or may not be the exact same effects that I enjoy when out drinking — I can't remember. Either way, there's no disputing that breaks from reality are slightly more necessary than air, so get yours at the Colorado Springs Conservatory's Adult Recess at 5:30 tonight, and every Friday hereafter, at the Red Martini (25 N. Tejon St., csconservatory.org). Enjoy live jazz and blues, drink specials and that feeling of telling the world to solve its own problems for a minute. — Bryce Crawford
